Put that down to experience and move on.  If you feel it won't cause another slip up, can you use the experience to consider just what it was that made you want to order a takeaway? Was the hunger physical, or were you feeling stressed or bogged down?  If you can work that out it could prevent further similar incidents if you plan how you would react in future.One of the reasons I chose the total food replacement method was to remove the temptation to eat real food for the duration of the calorie restricted phase of ND.  An all or nothing sort of approach, I treated the meal replacements as a sort of 'medicine' that was needed rather than food at the time. Though I do think including real food is probably best for most people, it brings in the temptation to eat more than recommended.In addition to testing blood glucose levels, it could help to test ketone levels.  If  by calorie restriction you can maintain ketosis you may find that appetite is suppressed.</blockquote>
